They fit the same on N/A as they do on a TII. Sorry I don't have a front picture of mine. I might get motivated and take one tomorrow, if so I'll put it up here.

Look in the Classifieds section for the hood. Did you do a turbo II swap or just want the cool scoop look?

Don't believe these guys.

I have the only TII hood in existence that will fit on an NA. But I'll sell it to you for ONLY $500, plus $500 for shipping.

No TII hoods on NA's in my house. S5 tails on an S4, got me. But I did it only because S5's can be smoked legally while S4's can't.

Call me out, bah humbug. I do indeed have the only TII hood in the world that will fit an NA.

I guess nobody has Told you that they also make N/A hoods in aluminum too!.I have the Best of Both worlds.A TII aluminum and an N/A aluminum.I can swap out according to Mood!..(I'm going TII,so I can take my time,with whether I am going to go Top Mount or Front Mount intercooler.).
You should read the stickies on top of the Forum Section.It has the specifics of the Cars.
by the way stock N/A hood 56lbs,and the N/A aluminum about Half @ 28Pounds..Frisbee weight.One hand Person handling Type hood.

Actually,Have you Tried it?Putting a TII hood on an N/A?..Besides it looking Better,it allows Air to cool down the engine a bit.I run at 84 degrees Celcius.Constant.

CA NA Aluminum vs TII Aluminum Hoods

When ever I go to open a friends steel hood, I'm always amazed how much heavier they are than my NA, TII, and Carbon Fiber hoods are.

The CarbonFiber is noticably lighter than the NA (Vert) Aluminum Hood which is in turn noticably lighter than a TII Hood. With either, you should also get the hood latch from a Vert or TII as they are designed to accept the lighter hoods.

And, I have the ONLY NA Aluminum Hood that will fit your car as well. I control the HOOD!

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't see a problem, they're all FC's and it looks a **** ton cooler in my opinion..

But I thought I read somewhere on here that, since it's not used to cooling in any way, you'll just get **** flying in there.. Makes sense right? lol

Hozz, I didn't know any tail lights could be smoked legally, but whats the difference between smoking S4 and S5 lights?

And can you explain your hood fitment?

The S5's have red reflectors on each while the S4's don't. So long as you don't smoke those, they are what makes it all legal.

Primary argument against TII hoods on NA's is the scoop air capture builds pressure inside the engine compartment HINDERING the cooling air flow otherwise. But, to be honest, although theoretically makes sense, I have no idea if this is a meaningful issue. Regardless, it would be easy enough to make a block off plate since the IC Seal mounting studs are already there for one.

Hood fitment, I'll explain my secret in that regard to any buyers of my hoods.

something i missed while skimming through this. if you want your aluminum hood to close properly then you should get the correct hood latch. they are different between the steel and alum hoods.
